This paper concerns the hydrodynamic forces and moments produced by a bow thruster. Several
broad problem areas a r e discussed and the extent of present-day knowledge indicated. These include
general duct arrangement, duct shape, and impeller design. A step-by-step design procedure is outlined that permits the selection of a practical bow thruster. This procedure is described for a minimum
number of operational requirements; e.g., single bow thruster, a specified turning rate when the ship
is dead in the water, and a duty cycle that requires thruster operation at ahead speed for control
capability in canals, harbors, and other restricted waterways.
Background
To assist in directing the designer to the more extensive
areas of thruster work t h a t have been published, the following
background comments are made. It is suggested that the references cited be consulted for additional detail.
The work of Taniguchi [1]2 is very comprehensive and systematic. He conducted captive model tests as well as freerunning model maneuvering tests. For static tests a standard
test block which p e r m i t t e d variations in geometry of the duct
configuration was utilized. Among the quantities investigated
by systematic series tests were: for the propeller--blade outline, blade section, blade numbers, expanded area ratio, hub
ratio, and pitch-diameter ratio; for the duct--duct wall inclination, grids, guide vanes, duct inner-wall shape, duct
length, bottom immersion, duct opening lip radius, and
duct opening fairing for three ship types (investigation of
added resistance).
Chislett [2] has made measurements of body force and body
turning moment on a captive tanker model. Special attention
was given to explaining the effect of the ratio of model speed
to thruster jet velocity. Implications to design and operation
are rationalized based on the experimental results obtained at
the ahead-speed condition.
Taylor [3] has examined the effects of shroud (duct) lip
radius, duct length, and duct diffusion on the performance of
an airscrew at the static condition.
Ridley [4] has presented some full-scale bow thruster d a t a
and the results of some American Shipbuilding Company
series work with thruster entrance configuration. The possible
beneficial effect of a truncated conic fairing with regard to
a d d e d resistance was discussed.
Stuntz [5] has studied added resistance for several alternate
fairings for tunnel openings and indicated how the flow patterns may be critically affected by the fairing detail. T h a t combined fences and bars placed across the tunnel entrance (in
the flow line) can effectively reduce resistance augmentation
in some cases was demonstrated.
Hawkins [6] has made an extensive study of several types of
MPD for the U. S. Maritime Administration. His work encompasses a spectrum of problems involved in the choice of an
MPD and its design and performance. Maneuvering requirements, external forces, applied forces, and econofnic considerations are all discussed.
English [7] has shown that the ideal static merit coefficient
is increased by the use of some jet diffusion. However, he points
out t h a t in practice the diffusion process is inefficient in a

Operational duty
Two distinct maneuvering and control capabilities may be
required of a bow thruster. On the one hand the critical maneuvering and control function may be when the ship is dead in
the water or at extremely low headway. This type of duty cycle
is exemplified by a variety of tenders or observation ships that
must maintain station in the presence of wind, current, etc.,
or must execute changes in heading. Vessels which operate
mainly in harbors and with frequent docking and undocking,
such as ferries, also have this type of duty cycle. On the other
hand the critical function for control may be for operation at
a sustained ahead speed for long periods of time in restricted
waterways such as coastal waters, canals and rivers. For this
latter type of duty the design of a bow thruster must consider
the interaction between the mainstream and the thruster jet
flow which can compromise the design and performance of the
bow thruster compared to t h a t for an essentially static condition.
An obvious operational duty is t h a t the thruster produce a
body force and body moment to turn the ship to starboard or
port. This duty cycle leads to a thruster design which incorporates symmetrical blade sections fbr the propeller and
identically shaped duct entrance and exit openings. How this
affects the thruster design will be discussed later.
Needless to say there are other operational duties and requirements (particularly %r very specialized vessels including
submersibles) that call for the use of multiple ducted thrusters
or some other type of MPD. However, as stated previously
these are not within the scope of this paper.
C = f~/~l/2
It is noted t h a t with comparisons involving either C or ~ the
higher the coefficient the more effective is the bow thruster;
t h a t is, more thrust per horsepower is developed. For equal

Performance factors
Static m e r i t coefficient. The useful work output given by
the usual definition of propeller efficiency becomes zero at zero
propeller advance. Since thrust is still produced, a measure of
static (at rest) efficiency is needed to evaluate or compare
thruster performance for this condition. Several forms of the
so-called merit coefficient, figure of merit, static thrust efficiency, etc. have been used widely in both marine and aero,nautical applications. In the latter case they have been used to
characterize the performance of helicopter rotors and VTOL
aircraft.

Pivot point and rotation rate constant for a single side force
acting on a ship (according to Reference [6])
choice can be made. According to Taniguchi, bottom immersion should not be less than one duct diameter measured from
duct axis to keel. Similarly, it seems reasonable that a minim u m submergence of one diameter from the load waterline to
the duct axis should be maintained since wave action and ship
motions would adversely affect bow thruster performance or
added resistance. This might be a critical problem when the
ship is running in ballast condition. In this regard, a possible
problem for consideration is air drawing from the free surface
by the ducted thruster unit. To the author's knowledge no detailed study of this problem leading to design criteria for propellers in relatively long tunnels at zero advance has been
made. However, some bow thruster experiments for a LST at
various drafts have been conducted at NSRDC. The results
showed that with tunnel submergence (measured to axis) as
small as 0.71D, no free-surface effect on side force or power
was observed.
Shiba [13] has presented the results of an extensive study of
air drawing of conventional unducted marine propellers. Of
academic interest is the necessary condition postulated by
Shiba as follows:
- P ' ) b > 2s
where
Pa = atmospheric pressure
P' = absolute pressure (including Pa) at a point on the body
surface
b = width of dead-water region
S = surface tension between water and air
It is perceived that the extent of the dead-water region due to
laminar separation near the leading edge and the pressure
decrement in that region are involved in the occurrence of air
drawing. In the inequality, it is obvious that the atmospheric
pressure drops out and that P ' depends only on depth of submergence and a pressure coefficient of the body. Considering
only the duct (but with impeller operating), a well-rounded
duct inlet would not be likely to have a high suction peak or an
extensive dead-water region. The experimental results presented by Shiba are for propellers at submergences <0.61D.

should be faired with zero slope at the high-flow-rate end.
Equation (4) is independent of scale, that is, the pressure
ACp' and flow coefficient were obtained from tests that were
conducted at Reynolds numbers safely greater than the critical
value for turbulent flow. Equation (4) may be used to estimate
bow-thruster outflow interaction for a prototype based on comparative pressure defect. Flow coefficients are used that correspond either to prescribed values or to a desired range of velocity ratio U~/Uj and duct size. An elementary hull force, hull
moment, and center of action of the force can also be derived
by using the calculated pressure coefficient ACp'. The incremental surface force per unit width is

In equation (4), the choice of hull length L to nondimensionalize duct diameter was made because (1) for a given thruster
size, ship turning rate depends on hull length, and (2) there is
generally good agreement of flat-plate theory in this regard.
Figure 13 compares the experimental results to those calculated according to equation (4). The sine function form of equation (4) was suggested by the shape of the curves of Fig. 13.
For no duct outflow (ACp')4 is zero; at some higher value of ~b,
the coefficient (ACp')4 again becomes zero, corresponding to a
relatively low value of velocity ratio U ~ / U j where the thruster
jet issues approximately perpendicular to the mainstream

Equations (6) and (7) give an index of the surface force and
moment and do not consider jet diffusion over the hull surface.
In many cases, this would not seriously impair the usefulness
of the data. In the case of the comparison between the two
ducts discussed earlier, the smaller duct had less pressure defect and this, coupled with the wider jet outflow of the larger
duct, left no doubt that the smaller-diameter duct would produce a lower interaction force.
Equation (4) can be used to e s t i m a t e A P until more experimental data become available. The usual word of caution concerning the use of empirical data applies in this case: the accuracy for extrapolation purposes is unknown; therefore, the
use of equation (4) should be limited to interpolation or reasonable extrapolation.
Free r u n n i n g . The results of captive model tests have
formed the basis for comments and design criteria which have
been presented so far. Very few experiments with free-running
models have been reported. However, Taniguchi [1] has presented the results of extensive maneuvering tests. Of special
interest to the designer is the Taniguchi inference (from recorded path loci of ship models) that in turning a ship smaller
drift angles were observed by the use of bow thrusters than by
the use of a rudder. Thus, speed reduction may be less in turning with a bow thruster. Norrby [18] has mentioned a few
model tests which showed that the body turning moment from
a bow thruster is increased at a drift angle, as in a turn, in comparison to the no-drift-angle case.
Thruster selection summary
As an example consider a hypothetical ship with characteristic dimensions
A = 3 X 103 tons
L = 275 ft
B = 54ft
H = 17ft
Assume that a duct centerline length of 12 ft is available at station 0.15 L and a duty cycle that requires an effective turning
moment at 3 knots of not less than approximately 80 percent of
the static value.
S t e p 1. Initially, let the duct diameter D = 1/2 l = 6.0 ft and
the bottom immersion I = D. These are recommended values

not within the interval 0 to ~r (see Fig. 13) for the specified relative d u c t size D / L = 0.0182. Therefore, no hull pressure defect
(interaction) would be expected. However, the accuracy of the
solution for ACp' is q u e s t i o n a b l e when the function ( A C p ' )
is near zero and some interaction s would be e v i d e n t at the
